George Washington Rye Whiskey (Mount Vernon Distillery, Unaged)
86 proof Unaged Rye Mount Vernon Distillery Mount Vernon, VA $100 60% rye, 30% corn, 5% malted barley
Nose

Hot buttered popcorn, rye spice, corn whiskey character, clean and fresh with no mustiness or dirtiness, sweet corn notes.

Palate

Surprisingly soft and sweet for the proof, licorice notes, copper penny flavor, smooth entry with less heat than expected.

Finish

Clean finish with lingering sweetness.

Respectable
A historically significant unaged rye whiskey that drinks cleaner and smoother than expected, offering genuine appeal as an authentic representation of early American whiskey despite being unaged.
